Depth of Beartown Lakes?

Question

Hi, I was wondering the depths of the lakes at Beartown Lakes Reservation? Also, will there be Bass and Bluegill stocking this year? I catch and release. Thanks.

Naturalist's Response

Beartown Lakes Reservation’s Lower Bear Lake (the largest lake) has a maximum depth of 14 feet toward the dam center, but the average depth is probably 4-6 feet. The park’s other lakes are much more shallow.

And yes, we plan to stock Beartown with Rainbow Trout this early spring, then bass/bluegill in the late spring/early summer this year. If you’re on Facebook, you can follow along on our Fishing in Geauga Park District group, or else just watch for updates posted to our Facebook, X and Instagram.

Thanks for your questions.
